It was reported that this single chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) exhibited high out of range right ventricular (rv) pace impedance measurements, measuring greater than 3000 ohms.As a result, this triggered an alert on the patients home monitoring system and alerted the patient advocate to reach out to technical services.Technical services was consulted and recommended the patient advocate reach out to the patients clinic regarding the alert.Troubleshooting was performed and the physician opted to surgically abandoned the non-boston scientific pace/sense rv lead.The lead was successfully replaced with another non-boston scientific rv pace/sense lead.The device remains in service at this time.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
